I'd been on the first blinking stage of the fuel level warning (.8 gallons left) when rolling down 405 right by the old Wilburton tunnel work.

Thought I was running out of gas since the bike acted like my older petcock-equipped bike needed to be flipped into reserve. Realized I was on the Strom and that I had FI and I was spinning up the rear tire at steady throttle.

Not exactly warm fuzzy feeling at 55mph in a spray fog while being tailgated.

Wanted to make sure y'all had seen this: it's the Thursday after thanksgiving, should be a lot of fun-
Just bought three tickets from RideWest over the phone, $10/head, no other costs (taxes, stamps etc)

Turkey Day is on the near horizon, and you're going to be busy next week getting ready for it, so tomorrow (being Saturday at the time I'm posting this) would be a great time to stop by Ride West, do a little holiday shopping, and to whet your touring appetite, pick up tickets for The:

On Thursday 04 December, Helge has rented a 250-seat theater at the Crest Cinema Center in Seattle for a special showing of the recently released IndoChina Expedition 2007 DVD. Instead of being in DVD-quality standard definition video, this showing will be the original High Definition movie, using a full-on, professional grade High Definition digital projector. Helge, Chris Poland and video producer Sterling Noren, along with a crew from film sponsor Touratech-USA, will all be on hand. There will be a drawing for door prizes. Tickets are available exclusively at Ride West BMW. For more information, point your browser at the link below:

Going to see the indochina thing at the crest theater-
hope some of you FFers will be there too...

Hi All
It is hard to believe another year has come and gone. Cheers for the New Year and hope to see you all next year for many more Pints and Burgers and of course the great stories about the one that got away.

We moved it to Celtic Bayou in Redmond. Keep an eye on the thread. People have been posting if there are going to make it. I think when the weather warms up we will see more people. Celtic Bayou has a outdoor patio, so this spring it will be nice to hang out there with a Pint and burger. Hope to see you next year.
Happy New Year.
